Must see for everyone who visist london. Do the crown jewels before visiting the rest of the tower (long queues up to 30 min waiting time). Guided tours every 30 minutes with an original beafeater!

No pictures allowed... but definitely an incredible exhibit of former and current fancy metals used as crowns, cutlery, serving platters, etc for the royal family!!! (Pic is from outside the entry)

Go see the Crown Jewels early, before the queue starts. Have lunch before 12 at the Cafe. The lamb and rice was excellent. Then, see the White Tower while everyone else is having lunch.

Incredible collection of jewels and crowns. The queues are very long but it is worth the wait.

There are diamonds, rubies, pearls and gold — There are many crowns and they’re mostly old — They get put on your head — And they stay till you’re dead — They’re the Crown Jewels after all

Be ready to wait. Once inside you've still got several rooms to go before you see anything glittering. It was awesome though. Wear super comfy shoes
Michael NataleJune 29, 2016
Long lines. But the priceless items you view make up for it. Lines move quicker than expected. Well worth wait
Brendan ElliottJanuary 9, 2018
Stunning! Go in winter, not much of a crowd around then.
Mark LoundyOctober 16, 2023
It’s the Crown Jewels, for goodness sake. They have a diamond the size of an apricot.
Athelia CJune 26, 2018
Go early and you’ll have time to read about the jewels and view them repeatedly, if you like.
Roxanne BennettMarch 25, 2013
Awesome and a must see. Go early to avoid the long queues. No video or photography allowed.

Stunning. When you're on the conveyor, go back around to see the jewels from both sides!

Long wait but then the viewing is unhurried and well displayed. Was worth it.

A slightly disappointing experience, not much time to appreciate the jewels as your taken past them by travelator

A must go to for any London visitor
Duncan HowsleyOctober 29, 2013
Long queues for the Crown Jewels? Head there at 4.45pm for immediate access - no queue at all, even on busy days.

A long walk through the museum, but worth it.

Atração cara que vale cada centavo! Adoramos e recomendamos. NÃO VALE A PENA pegar o guia eletrônico com tradutor. Custa £4 e não é bem feito. A gente se atrapalha todo na utilização e não aproveita.

Ein Highlight im Tower of London. Die Warteschlange wirkt erst erschreckend, man kommt aber vergleichsweise schnell voran.
Ricardo SantosNovember 22, 2016
Lá tem as jóias utilizadas pela família real desde 1300. É bem legal. É um conhecimento a mais
Denis ChapilinSeptember 3, 2013
Словами это не передать. Нужно посмотреть самим. Например, на самый большой в мире бриллиант в 530 карат.
Iurii PaninApril 13, 2013
Круто! Рекомендую! Даже я - скептик, который видал уже всякого в разных музеях по миру - и то был поражен! )
Vicente MartinezJanuary 7, 2017
La cola es larga, en torno a una hora. La visita está bien.
Louise de PausNovember 28, 2016
De kroonjuwelen moet je zien als je in de Tower bent
Alejandra PalaciosSeptember 11, 2016
